What Bernie Should Read in Jail
If I Did It. By O.J. Simpson. 256 pages. Gibson Square.
If I Did It
by O.J. Simpson
The Department of Corrections hasn’t decided yet where Bernie’s going to serve his prison term. But what if it’s the federal facility in Lovelock, Nevada? There’s a chance that he’ll wind up sharing a cell with O.J. Simpson, who happens to be one of my favorite authors. If he and the Juice are going to be roomies, Bernie may want to bone up on O.J.’s oeuvre, and If I Did It, his “fictionalized” account of his wife’s slaying, is a great place to start. Another promising topic for a conversation he might have with O.J.: In America, how come it’s easier to get away with murder than stealing sports memorabilia?
